This week Malone is joined by Natalie Busari. She shares her vision about how to improve healthcare for her community. Natalie is a Multiple Sclerosis (MS) advocate for the black Multiple Sclerosis community, a Health Inequalities Activist, and the Founder of the non-profit patient organisation “The Nerve of My Multiple Sclerosis CIC”. The Nerve of My Multiple Sclerosis CIC works to not only advocate and represent the black MS community, but it works to support and empower this underrepresented group to be their own health advocate and combat cultural stigmas and taboos that create social barriers by talking about difficult conversations that are not often welcome in the black community. Since being diagnosed with MS myself in 2016, just 2 months after giving birth to my second child, I realised that no one was going to save me, reach out to me, or represent me the way I felt I deserved so I decided that I would be the representation I wanted to see, what I wanted others in the wider MS community and society to see.
